Sheeeeit. Here we go again... Massive drop of dopeness. Finally got enough shit together again to do a Big Post. Mntl came through HUGE with the Glen Porter link, Thanks Alot. After I heard that track "Tragedy Herself" from Glen on the Heart On The Right Spot album, I knew I had to keep my eye out. Pretty sure this album has been gettin pushed back since late last summer... Anyway, check it out, dope for sure. Definately a sick guitar technician this guy...

This is the advance for Blue Sky Black Death's upcoming album "Late Night Cinema", which I'm sure is going to be nothing but Epic... This is only 4 Jams, but you can hear the Potential. Highly Recommended shit here people... Can't wait for the Full album, I'm sure HHB will come through with a Link soon. (Thanks again to HHB for this Link)

Nick Peace... Thanks again for the link to this. Came across the track "Domani" a while back, and knew this shit would be Hot... He's the resident producer for Andre Nickatina I'm pretty sure, so you can expect the sound. It's dope, the first half of the disc is better than the 2nd I'd say, but there's some bangin Harp shit in here. Real Dope.

Alright, next up we have G(Riot). Very little is known about this fool, at least by me I guess, haha. For real though, he's the Shadow Producer. Been doing production here & there for the All Natural crew out of Chicago, and other than that, I don't know much. His sound is DOPE though, super smooth & eerie. Other than that collabo album with Mr. Greenweedz from a while back, which was just OK, I haven't heard of anything recent. But we need more Instrumentals from this guy, he's Dope. Only 4 tracks on here, 2 Instro's, 2 w/Lyrics, but check 'em out cause they're dope. "The Sound & The Fury" is Fuckin INSANE, one of my favorite tracks ever. I know the Instrumental for it is on this (along with the "50 Years" Instrumental!!) >>Here, but I haven't tracked it down yet, but we all need both of those... PLEASE leave a comment if you have any info on that, Thanks...

Cool... Next up we have a few tracks from P-Love, only 3 on here. I can't remember where I got these, and haven't been able to find the full album. These cuts are Hot though, some real dope Guitar shit on here. About halfway through the track "Isabella Frances" is some Dope, Dope shit you all need to be listening to... If anybody has the Full Album, please let us know.

Finally, we have "The Book Of Nawledge - Volumes 1 & 2" haha... I'm basically breaking ALL the Rules with this one, and just droppin a Bangin mix of Shit that I've been feeling lately. 16 Tracks in each volume, some instrumental, some with lyrics. A whole bunch of Random Shit on both of these, just shit I've been jamming Heavy lately, but I think that there is something for everybody, and I recommend both Volumes equally. Please pick these up and let me know what you think. Refer to the Comments of this post to see a Track-Listing for both if you want to know what's involved before you download, and also, don't forget to COMMENT people. Are you feelin these?? I Don't want to have to start Passwording my Files for next time, haha.. Alright, that's about it. PEACE everybody, and enjoy the Muthafuckin Easter Egg Hunin.

This is two albums, one link. Two EP's released under the Creative Commons license (yes!). Feel free to donate. The last album I posted from the CCL (BeatRaider) went over pretty well, hopefully you guys like this as well. One of the EPs only has a running time of ten minutes, just so you know. The files aren't messed up or anything, it's just short.

This dude is from Germany, as here on Strictly Beats we try not to just stick to American soil; we branch out all over! Anyway, this was released under the Creative Commons Liscense (the best invention ever), so it's also a free download. I believe you can donate to the artist if you'd like. If you want any information on that, ask, I'll see what I can find for you.

A lot of us here are feeling 40 Winks, and padmo has offered this download for free (originally here, where you can also find a detailed playlist). For more 40 Winks info, check their blog, where you can also find a link to pick up their last album on vinyl.

I could have sworn this had been posted, but apparently not. This is a group of dope producers from Belgium (I think?) This came out in 2005, and they've decided to release it for your downloading pleasure for a grand total of free99! It's a solid release, well worth your time. Check it out!Tracklisting: O'Donnel Interlude 01 Takin It Down Hogan Interlude 02 Golden Music Bas Fonds Interlude 03 Contrast Warlock Interlude 04 Lost Star Chocolate Outro

What up People?? It's Been a little while... So, I'm going to get things started off with a track that I've been searching for since 9th grade, and haven't been able to track down until now. "Consequences" by Haj F Karimah. You may remember the track from Aaron Snyder's section in the Shorty's Fulfill The Dream flick from waaaaay back. Anyway, I was pretty deep into Hip Hop when that shit dropped, and I knew Nothing about that cut, or the artist... Couldn't find it ANYWHERE at the time, so I would always record the jam off the video with all of the Skate sounds & shit. It sucked, but worked... Anyway, I searched for the track on YouTube a while ago, and found some fool that made a Re-Edit of the Jam, and made it into an Instrumental Version... It's fuckin ILL. He finally added a link to download the Instrumental Remix he did, after enough people asked. So, after MASS years, finally got this track, and in an Instrumental Version no less. There's still a few skate sounds in this jam, but it's REALLY hot. Sorry about the blabbing, had to give some background on this Jam... GET IT:

Gonna get the main post started off with a Disc from Blue Sky Black Death. I'm about 6 tracks deep into the album, and it got me so excited I had to post this shit. This album is FIRE so far, and I see no reason why the second half won't be as good as the first... Really though, this shit is AMAZING. From hearing the Collabo album he did with Hell Razah last year, I knew he had Talent on the boards, that track "Audiobiography" with Shabazz was a fuckin BANGER... Anyway, this shit is Heat. The first track starts out with a Sample from that movie "Primer". Don't know if any of y'all caught that flick, it was a pretty complex concept and kind of hard to understand, but the sample usage is Hot. Don't sleep...

** SORY FOR THE RAPIDSHARE... MOST LINKS ARE BORROWED. THANKS TO HHB FOR THE BLUE SKY BLACK DEATH LINK **

Next up we got some Damu The Fudgemunk... Got this in the C-Box a while back and said I'd post it then. Definately lagged on posting it, but here it is now for y'all. This fool is ILL, definately on that classic golden sound. Some real nice shit here, definately alot of classic samples on the disc but he flips 'em properly. Peep this vid to hear some shit from the man and wait until the 4:45 mark to hear the JAM. It's real nice:

Oh, one more thing. A little bit of self hype... I got another Blog up & runnin' with a whole bunch of random Graphic Design shit I've done from the last year or so. Thought I'd drop a link and y'all can go check it out if you feel the urge, there's some entertaining shit on there. I'll be updating the Bitch frequently now that it's all runnin smoothly... Thanks in advance for checkin it out. PEACE FAM.
